In fact, Wang Lang's mentality is similar to that of most families in Heluo now, or rather, Wang Lang sees farther and opens his horizons.

Wang Lang had long felt that with the defeat of the Great Wei's Guanzhong counteroffensive by the Great Han, it would not be impossible to capture Luoyang in the future, so Wang Lang seized the opportunity to marry Zhang Xi at that time, and sought a way back for the Wang clan of the East China Sea in advance.

And now these Heluo families, compared to Wang Lang, are a little worse. They were only after the Han captured Luoyang, and only then did they discover with hindsight that the Han was really likely to be Sanxing.

Therefore, at this time, the Heluo family can be said to be in a very conflicted mood.

Of course, they also wanted to befriend the Han and leave a way back for themselves, but given that both Hedong and Hanoi counties were under the actual control of the Great Wei, this idea could not be put on the table.

Even, these Heluo families are a little worried, in case in the future counterattack of the Great Wei, the Han will not be able to hold Luoyang. Then the early investment of these people is completely in vain? !

Really, the big families of this era, don't think how disciplined they are, this kind of thing at both ends of the rat, they haven't done it once or twice.

During the battle of Guandu that year, this group of Heluo families operated like this once, and they were under Cao Cao's control, but they still did not forget to keep in touch with Yuan Shao, and some even exchanged information with Yuan Shao. And Cao Cao's handling of this after the Guandu War could only be to burn the letters and not investigate the past.

Is Cao Cao big-hearted?!

Of course not.

It's just that Cao Cao knows very well that one of these Heluo families is counted as one, and basically all of them have contact with Yuan Shao, if they really want to be investigated one by one, Cao Cao is just making himself unhappy.

Cao Cao did not try to suppress and decompose the power of the family in his early years, and even disdained the so-called celebrities.

But the result was a collective rebellion in Yanzhou, Cao Cao was not only betrayed by his friend Zhang Miao, but he almost died in that battle.

Since then, while Cao Cao has been deeply shocked, he has also realized the energy contained in the family, and at the same time, he has become more aware of the virtue of the family, and there are some things that he Cao Cao can do if he wants to do it.

Anyway, the overall situation has been decided, and these families have no choice but to support themselves. It's just a blur of the past.

This is also one of the reasons why Cao Cao never liked the Heluo family very much, and later became the Duke of Wei and chose a fief for himself in Yecheng.

The family of these years is this virtue, how good it sounds, in the end, it still depends on the interests. Whoever brings the greatest benefit to their family, they support.

Zhuge Liang is actually very clear about this, but Zhuge Liang also knows that these Heluo families are still very useful in today's situation.

If you can win enough Heluo family to support the Han, or you don't need them to support the Han openly, and you can have contact in private, it will only be good for the two countries to fight in the future, and there will be no harm.

That's why.

"Let Xiao Zhong'er marry the Hongnong Yang family?!"

Zhang Xi really didn't expect that he had just gone to Gucheng County, visited the Wang clan, and picked up his future daughter-in-law, but as soon as he arrived in Luoyang, Zhuge Liang talked about another marriage.

Xiao Zhong'er is talking about Deng Ai's eldest son, Deng Zhong.

Deng Ai's father died early, and now only his mother is alive, and Zhuge Liang can't personally go to discuss this matter with Deng Ai's mother, Deng Ai himself is guarding against Sima Yi in Gongxian County, and he can't leave office easily. It just so happens that Zhang Xi is Deng Ai's master, and this matter is the same as discussing it with Zhang Xi.

But the problem is

"Xiao Zhong'er is only nine years old this year, Prime Minister, this is not appropriate, right?!" Zhang Xi's face was full of confusion and reminded Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang also sighed, and then said, "You can set up a family affair first, and then marry when you become an adult. If it weren't for the fact that Ruzi and the Donghai Wang clan already had a marriage contract, why would Liang make such a decision!! ”

Zhuge Liang also had no choice, so he explained to Zhang Xi the reason why he did this.

All of this is a method that Zhuge Liang came up with in order to win the hearts of the Heluo family.

Hedong, the big families of Hanoi, because it is located in the Cao Wei control area on the north bank of the Yellow River, it is too difficult for Zhuge Liang to win over, and people will not rashly stand in line when the current situation is unknown.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang could only start with the clans of Hongnong, Luoyang, and even Yingchuan, showing a friendly attitude towards the clans and dispelling the resistance of these clans to the Han.

After all, the family policy implemented by the Han Dynasty in Shu and Guanzhong was not a friendly policy in the eyes of these Heluo families.

No one wants to give up the various privileges they enjoy now and run to establish a good relationship with a regime that is wary of the family.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang must lower the vigilance of these families, and for these families, the most effective method at present is marriage.

Although doing so will allow these families to find a channel that can influence the politics of the Han Dynasty, on the other hand, once they marry the relatives of important officials on the Han side, the Han generals will encounter much less resistance when they attack all parts of the Central Plains.

Let's take Hongnong, Luoyang and other places as an example to reduce the resistance of Hedong and other places to the Han Dynasty, so that Zhuge Liang's infiltration plan can be better implemented.

One more. Hongnong Yang's family, which is also the top family of the fourth and third dukes, although it has weakened a little over the years, its influence on the family in the Heluo area is still very large.

In addition, in the process of the last Northern Expedition, the Hongnong Yang clan did make great contributions, but Zhuge Liang took the initiative to lure Sima Yi to take the initiative to fight, and attacked the branch of the Hongnong Yang clan. Although the matter was resolved decently in the end, it was somewhat suspected of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

Therefore, now letting Zhang Xi's relatives marry with the Hongnong Yang family is also to appease the Hongnong Yang family, so that the Hongnong Yang family can contribute to the Han Dynasty with peace of mind, and stabilize the mood of the local family.

Originally, Zhuge Liang would not have moved his mind to the child who was only nine years old, isn't there really no one to choose.

Among these Han officials in Luoyang, Zhuge Liang has calculated all the characters with heads and faces.

His eldest son Zhuge Qiao has already married Zhang Xi's daughter, and the big family will not allow their own daughters to be concubines, otherwise they will not befriend the family, but ridicule the family.

And Zhuge Liang's youngest son, Zhuge Zhan, who is also Huang Yueying's own son, is only three years old now, and no matter how unreliable he is, he can't marry a three-year-old child.

As for Zhang Fei, Fei Yi, Jiang Wan, Chen Yi and others, most of them are like this, the children are either married, or they are still young, and they are not suitable for marriage.

The only ones left are Wei Yan and Huang Quan, and their sons were also introduced by Zhuge Liang respectively, and they married people from the Luoyang family, and none of them ran away.

As for Hongnong Yang, it is more special.

Hongnong Yang's marriage request was not put forward by Zhuge Liang, but by Yang Bing, the head of Hongnong Yang's family, and the original marriage object was Zhang Xi's eldest son, Xiao Zheng'er.

But Wang Lang and Zhang Xi agreed on a marriage contract, others may not know, but Zhuge Liang still knows, so Zhuge Liang rejected Yang Bing instead of Zhang Xi.

I thought this was the end of the matter, after all, Wang Lang is also a great Confucian in the sea, although it is not as glorious as your ancestor of the fourth generation and the third duke, but it is not a small family, you can't force Zhang Xi to break the marriage contract with the Wang family of the East China Sea, or your Yang family marries someone's son as a concubine, right?!

But a few days later, Yang Bing turned his head again and found Zhuge Liang, saying that Zhang Xi's personal disciple Deng Ai had an eldest son, and the unmarried match was all about this, what else could Zhuge Liang say.

The Yang family took the initiative to show goodwill, and even changed the candidate once, can you still refuse?!

Besides, Zhuge Liang also has political needs, he wants to appease the Hongnong Yang clan as much as possible, and use their strength to stabilize Luoyang and meet the possible counteroffensive launched by Cao Wei next.

This matter, can't I only talk to Zhang Xi!

It's not easy to talk to Deng Ai, this is not a simple matter of children's marriage, there are a lot of political factors in it.

And with Zhuge Liang's understanding of Deng Ai and Deng Ai's daughter-in-law, it is estimated that this little couple cannot understand this matter.

Deng Ai learned some tricks and strategies from Zhang Xi, and also learned systematic theories of the art of war from Xu Shu, but no one once taught Deng Ai some knowledge of politics.

Deng Ai's ability to handle government affairs was still exercised during the time when Zhang Xi was lazy and asked Deng Ai to help him sort out his official business, and it was too difficult for him to expect him to understand what political compromise is.

And off the silver screen. Guan Yu, a big family, when did he care about the so-called political compromise?!

That's it!!

Otherwise, when Guan Yu was guarding Jingzhou, why did the first emperor leave Ma Liang, Xu Shu and others to assist Guan Yu, but he was afraid that Guan Yu would not care about it.

The children of the Guan family, except for Guan Ping, who is slightly better, the others are actually similar personalities.

Therefore, this matter can only be discussed with Zhang Xi, and after Zhang Xi has made a decision, Zhang Xi will go to tell Deng Ai's mother as a master. Bypass the advice of the young couple directly as well.

Zhuge Liang said everything so clearly, what else can Zhang Xi say?!

Only. Say yes.

As for who the woman is, it doesn't matter anymore, as long as it's the Yang woman, it's fine.

Zhang Xi didn't ask about this, and Zhuge Liang didn't have time to say it for a while.

After all, inviting Zhang Xi over this time is not just to talk about Deng Ai's son's marriage.

The real big thing is about the possibility of Cao Wei counterattacking Luoyang, and the possibility that Eastern Wu may also cooperate with the dispatch of troops to Jingzhou.

The main responsible persons of the two localities must communicate well on how to cooperate with the action in order to effectively repel the enemy's offensive attempt.

Tonight's wedding banquet at a relative's house, there are only three chapters, and it's too late to come back and make up for it.
